Under the snap she wrote about finding love and acceptance in the changes her body has made. “Self love is a difficult thing to fully embrace. When I look at myself in the mirror I can’t help but notice that my hips are wider than they used to be, my wrinkles are deeper than when I was in my 20’s, and my stomach has lumps and bumps that didn’t used to be there," the caption began.

She then explained that she tries her best to remember that these changes all came with a great reason — motherhood. She wrote, “I try to remember that my hips are wider because they give birth to two beautiful children. My wrinkles are deeper because I’ve spent countless sleepless nights making sure my kiddos are cared for, fed, and loved. And my belly is extra squishy because it spent 18 months making sure two sweet little babies had a place to call home.”

Finally she ended, “Sometimes what we see as 'flaws' on the outside, are actually what make us stunningly beautiful on the inside.”
